How to administer First Aid during Covid 19
- All age groups should aim to have 1 no. first aider per 20 players (Arrange cover with another age group if you are not in attendance)
- All first aid treatment should be carried out in an outdoor space where possible.using face mask and gloves.
- Where possible – first aiders should encourage the player/casualty to administer treatment on themselves. Parents can assist if close by.
- Where Not possible – be aware of the risk of cross contamination – especially if you have to get close to the casualty to assess what is wrong or to check their breathing
- Avoid close face to face contact where possible, remember to wear gloves and follow government guidelines on the wearing of masks when social distancing is not possible.
- If you suspect a serious illness or injury call 999 immediately – tell the call handler if the patient has any COVID-19 symptoms
More detailed guidance can be found in the RFU Emergency First Aid Provision for the Community Game .
